Are these questions official past exam problems?
No. Although the Gifu Prefectural Board of Education publishes the actual examination problems after each sitting, it does not publish them as a multiple-choice set. This bank is an original English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the MEXT junior-high Course of Study.

What parts of the junior-high science curriculum does the exam cover?
The paper covers all four MEXT junior-high science fields: physics (motion, forces, electricity, energy), chemistry (matter, solutions, reactions, ions), biology (cells, plants, the human body, ecosystems, heredity), and earth science (geology, weather, astronomy). This bank distributes its 100 items evenly across the four fields, including calculation items for density, concentration, and Ohm's law.
Do these details apply to the next (Reiwa 9 / 2027) entrance examination?
The figures on this page describe the Reiwa 8 cycle, whose academic examination was sat on March 4, 2026. The Gifu Prefectural Board of Education has already published its Reiwa 9 (2027 entry) selection guidelines. The five-subject, 50-minute, 100-point structure has been stable across recent cycles, but confirm the Reiwa 9 dates and rules on the board's own page before relying on them.
